Looks ugly. And price is high IMO.
400R was a good case, but same can't b said for 300R.
Very good review btw.

Thanks. The cost is it's major flaw. Otherwise it is a great case for a lower end build. Just not something I expected from Corsair. Usually they have high end quality...the price...well that was expected dispite the case itself. Pay for the name sometimes.

Nice review Blue. I think your right. This will probably be a $69.99 case in a couple months time.

I would have expected with all the cheaper cases on the market that a similar price would be tagged. When I saw the cost, I was honestly shocked.Nice review, I like the case but it is pricey.
I expect a price drop to happen - but I fear too many people will buy it at this price even still.
